This study is ineligible for review because it does not disaggregate findings for the age or grade range specified in the protocol.
Brooks, C. (1999). Evaluation of Jefferson Parish technology grant: I CAN Learn® Algebra I. (Available from the Department of Educational Leadership, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA 70148). The study does not meet evidence standards because the intervention and comparison groups are not shown to be equivalent at baseline.
Brooks, C. (2000). Evaluation of Jefferson Parish technology grant: I CAN Learn® Algebra I. (Available from the Department of Educational Leadership, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA 70148).
